Recruiting Football Talk VII

Caitlin will have to have 45+ for Iowa to sniff a victory

She’ll approach this game the same way she approached LSU…she’ll get hers and they play great chemistry basketball..it will be a nice game I think.it’s hard to beat a team that knows where all 5 players are going to be on the court

How are those moves insane? They look rather pedestrian........... And there was only one very fundamental move I had mastered in jr pro basketball.

The knob slobbing of this guy is perplexing to me.

That is a Tennessee fan if I am not mistaken.

Not so petty larceny! Errytime someone trades a player for a first rounder, the Herschel Walker trade gets referenced. This one approaches that closer than any. It always ends up being about what they do with those picks and that’s incomplete…but looking very good with that franchise, already.

David Thompson…sans substance issues. In college he was ethereal.

Drunk posting from you? I have to admit I'm a little surprised.

Not drunk. Just messing with the LV forum a bit and autocorrect got the better of me.

Edey even walks while at practice

What’s so insane about those moves???

 

[volbeast33]

Ouch

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

That's down right Zack Edeyish!

Not sure why everyone is saying this was a weak call. Refs got it right. The girl was setting a continual moving screen for longer than the one she got called for, but that was 100% the right call. I wish we could have had a ref willing to call this in our game.

Not to mention the left elbow
Amazing that terrible call starts trending
Mob mentality ensues
And Vol fans of all people side with Geno in the name of solidarity
That was a designed foul to open up a shooter for a last second shot
Timing and magnitude irrelevant
Tennessee people used to be known for their independent spirit
If she had hit the go ahead they'd be raising cane over an illegal screen and the mob would be telling people to be outraged
And they would

In all honesty if the refs called the game right basketball games would take 3 hours
There’s missed calls every time down the court that are let go to keep games in a 2 hour window

The call was right, but with 3 seconds left, the debate should shift more to “do you make that call at that point in the game with everything on the line?” Personally, I’m a no. Unless it’s an absolute fragrant foul, let the players decide the outcome, not the ref.

Should have Joe Barry Carroll on the Purdue team better center than Edey, also led Purdue to their last appearance in FF.

I'm a yes

It was an egregious moving screen. It would be bs to lose because the other team was allowed to set a screen like that.

 

[VolXr1]

Even from this angle?

Offensive foul everytime.. idc if it's start of the game or the end. Foul everytime. Don't lean out and make it clear as day

Counterargument: Don't commit that foul at that point of the game with everything on the line.

If that illegal screen helps a UConn player get a clear look at the basket and they win because of it, then that's wrong and we'd all be saying it was rigged for UConn. You have to call that foul, especially at that point of the game. The players decided the outcome - in this case the UConn player decided to try and give her team an illegal advantage and the outcome was it cost them a chance to win or tie.

Feel like the name for the LV bball coach is a damn good one
Honestly it’s probably just smoke and mirrors though

I'm with you but what if girl gets her shot off because she was knocked way off by the illegal screen? Kind of cuts both ways.

If there was a hold on a hail mary that kept us from affecting qb we'd definitely complain.

By swallowing the whistle with a blatant penalty in front of you, a defensive player isn't being allowed to do their job. THAT demands a whistle. Away from the ball or incidental I see your reasoning...this wasn't the case. This all dates back for me to the Syracuse game during the NC season. We're down to a fourth down for the game and Tee Martin's pass falls incomplete. His intended receiver got basically MUGGED and all the talking heads uttered the tiresome refrain "You don't make that call at that point of the game!' Why? Never made sense to me.

I totally understand both sides of the argument. I’m just a believer in letting players when the game, especially in a situation like this.

But that player didn't allow the defensive player a fair opportunity to contest the shot...swings both ways.

Same here. My first thoughts were, "Wow, how can we get those officials for our games?"

Call what you see in accordance with the rules. You will not catch everything, but make the effort no matter the situation and no matter who is playing. Edey is still standing in the paint a week later. Edey is still shoving guys out of the way and going over the back. The guy is going to be a big fat zero in the NBA without the league ordering the officials to forget the rules.
